Livinia Nixon takes bright long-range outlook with her on new chapter

Livinia Nixon Embarks on New Chapter with Bright Outlook

Livinia Nixon, a beloved weather presenter known for starting her on-air career with Hey Hey, It’s Saturday, will continue appearing on the travel shows Postcards and Getaway. After 20 years as Nine’s long-time weather presenter, she will sign off from her nightly weather briefings this month.

“I’ve been on air for more of my life than I’ve not,” Nixon said with a laugh following the announcement. “I’m looking forward to a breather.”

At 50 years old, Nixon will stay with Nine, focusing on travel programs. She chose to end her weeknight weather reports to spend more quality time with her family, especially since her youngest child, Ted, is about to start high school alongside his older brother, Henry.

“Presenting the weather has shaped my life and career. I owe this role everything but this is the right decision for me,” she explained. “When I discussed it with our boys, they said ‘we’re pretty excited to spend more time with you, Mum’.”

Memorable Moments on Air

One standout live broadcast occurred at Healesville Sanctuary, where Nixon had a green tree python wrapped around her neck during her weather segment. The snake squeezed tightly and even tried to slither inside her jacket.

“I’d never read the weather as quickly in my life,” she recalled.

Continuing with Nine’s Travel Shows

Her decision reflects both a dedication to family and a desire for new professional challenges within the same network.

Author’s summary: After two decades as a weather presenter, Livinia Nixon steps back to focus on family while continuing her travel show roles, marking a thoughtful transition in her career.
